Chapter 276: Innere Territory

It's been a few weeks ever since Kraftvoll and the two young ladies. The carriage they were riding in was continuously traveling during the day. In the night, Kraftvoll and his companions would stop at the inns that they found to spend the night.

Currently, they were staying at the house of the Cavendish Family at Sormeset City, the territory just above Schild City. They used a different route so they were unable to go to Kraftvol and Belle's hometown.

"Why is Your Highness using a carriage that doesn't show your affiliation with the royal family?" asked Earl Abelard le Cavendish as Kraftvoll and the two young ladies walked toward the mansion of the earl.

"We are going to help in the war, Earl Cavendish. His Majesty wanted us to lay low because we might be attacked due to his only student accompanying us," said Princess Kyomi in response to the earl's inquiry.

'So this is that rumored child? Is he really worth waging an even more brutal war?' the Earl of Sormeset City wondered to himself as he observed Kraftvoll who was walking alongside the princess and the young lady of the Schild Family.

After they were escorted to their rooms, Kraftvoll and his two companions decided to sleep as much as they could because the next day, they would arrive at the city outside the territory of Walkiria Kingdom. This means that they would exit the jurisdiction of the Majestic Seishin Demigods of the humans.

When the morning came, Kraftvoll and the two young ladies accompanying him all decided to depart after saying their farewell to the earl that accepted them in his mansion. 

"Ouryuu, Angela!"

"Azari!"

"Azrael!"

Suddenly, two dragons and two seishin beasts from the angel race descended in front of them after they called them. Two dragons descended first which pertains to Ouryuu and Azari.

Net to the two dragons, both Angela and Azrael, Kyomi's seishin beast partner descended. In the span of two weeks, these two seishin beasts from the angel race were able to evolve again after Kraftvoll brought new seishin beast cores after returning from his half a year solo journey.

Currently, Angela was able to evolve into a Thrones which is a level 10 seishin beast in the span of weeks. She absorbed one seishin beast core of a Dominion to evolve into one of them and he used the seishin beast core of a Thrones which made it possible to evolve into a level ten seishin beast, Thrones.

The other remaining level nine seishin beast cores that Kraftvoll brought was given to Princess Kyomi's seishin beast partner, Azrael. Since Kraftvoll only had two levels 9 seishin beast core, Azrael was just able to evolve into a level 9 seishin beast.

"We are going to depart now! The four of you must be vigilant while you are flying in the sky. The frequency of outlaws will be increased very significantly as we advance toward the Krieg Verwustet," said Kraftvoll the moment their four seishin beast partners descended in front of them.

After hearing those words from him, the four seishin beast partners of the three immediately soared toward the sky as their human partners were getting aboard their carriage.

"Let's go, Mister Driver! Let's go to the Governor's Mansion at the Innere Territory of Krieg Verwustet!" shouted Kraftvoll as soon as the three of them were able to make themselves comfortable inside the carriage.

At the very moment the driver heard Kraftvoll's command, he did not hesitate to whip his horses in order for them to start running.

After a few hours on the road, Kraftvoll and the others were able to get through the territory of the Walkiria King which made it official that they managed to arrive at the Innere Territory under the control of the Holy Alliance at Krieg Verwustet.

While they were traveling, Kraftvoll and Belle were changing roles of using detection spells of the wind element. In the first part of the day, Kraftvoll was the one assigned to conjure the detection seishin spells.

Before his time for that job ended, Kraftvoll was able to detect something that made him very excited. At the next moment, he suddenly jumped at the door of the running carriage while saying, "I am going on one business. Sky Soar!"

Before Kraftvoll could even hit the ground, his inner seishin essences came out of him, and at the next moment, all of it turned into a translucent body of air that lifted him in the air.

Kraftvoll immediately soared toward the thing that he found using his Survey Gale seishin spell.

"He managed to find an enemy to hunt, isn't he? Do you want to follow him?" asked Princess Kyomi after Kraftvoll's departure.

"Well, no. Let's just enjoy each other company's here. I think mere bandits would unable to do something with a seishin practitioner at Kraftvoll's level," said Belle with an easy-going tone.

Meanwhile, after soaring through the sky for a few dozens of minutes, Kraftvoll was able to reach his targets which were unable to feel his presence at all. With a smile on his face, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Raging Wind Edge!"

At the next moment, Kraftvoll's inner seishin essences suddenly came out of his body. A moment later, those inner seishin essences of his turned into particles of wind simultaneously.

A second later, all of those wind particles merged to each other until they formed into numerous wind blades that Kraftvoll launched toward the enemy below him.

There are six bandits in total that were below Kraftvoll. The moment he heard Kraftvoll's shout, the strongest among these six bandits shouted, "Copper Shield!"

Before Kraftvoll's Raging Wind Edge seishin spell was able to hit them, the Copper Shield seishin spell of the strongest bandit was able to form. That's why he was able to defend against the incoming seishin spell that Kraftvoll had launched.

Among the six bandits that were about to attack Kraftvoll and the others that were going to the frontline, only the one bandit who managed to insta-cast a General-ranked seishin spell was the one that managed to survive.

"So there are some worthy opponents here!?" Kraftvoll mockingly said to the remaining bandit.

'This motherfucker! But he was a fucking monster! I must flee or else I will end up like these five companions of mine!' the remaining bandit thought to himself as he gritted his teeth with extreme frustration.

With that thought in his mind, the remaining bandit decided to run away from Kraftvoll as far as he possibly can without a moment of hesitation. 

'He decided to run, huh? I guess we really can't underestimate other people's intellect but running away from me is impossible!' Kraftvoll thought to himself while he was showing a devious face.

At the next moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Ice Spear Torrent!"

Suddenly, a huge amount of Kraftvoll's inner seishin essences came out of his body in a matter of a moment. A moment later, those inner seishin essences transformed into vapors of water that condensed together at the next moment.

After hearing Kraftvoll's shout, the running bandit suddenly turned around to face Kraftvoll's Ice Spear Torrent seishin spell. He knew that if he turned his back against that seishin spell, his survival chance would be lowered.

To his surprise, numerous ice spears were launched toward him by Kraftvoll who was levitating in the sky. Before those spears of ice reached him, the bandit used his Copper Shield seishin spell to defend.

Unfortunately for the bandit, his Copper Shield seishin spell was unable to protect him completely. One of his feet was hit by Kraftvoll's Ice Spear Torrent seishin spell so he let his shield made up of copper go unintentionally.

The next moment was gruesome because the remaining spears of Ice stabbed the bandit to death. 

'That was fast. Well, it's time to return now, then.' Kraftvoll thought to himself with a not satisfied expression.

Kraftvoll did not feel any remorse for killing other human beings because the people that he dealt with were all criminals. Also, his experience in the first trial of light given by the holy beast, The Valkyrie, was able to hone his mental fortitude about taking other's life.

After finishing the bandits who were planning on attacking him and his companions, Kraftvoll decided to go back to their carriage. Kraftvoll decided to just leave the corpses of the people who he just killed because he thought that it's not worth burying criminals.

When the night was about to come, Kraftvoll and the others were able to find an inn in the middle of their journey. Seeing that they would probably unable to reach their destination at the time, they decided to do continue their journey first thing in the morning.

After checking on their own rooms, Kraftvoll said to his girlfriend and close friend, Princess Kyomi, "Good night, girls! Please wake me up as soon as you wake up!"
